Some time around 1980 when I was a student in Bristol, UK, I moved into an extremely grubby bedsit and borrowed some cash off my Grandad to buy a second hand ETI 4600 synth. I also borrowed an ancient reel-to-reel - it had valves, really - from my new friend, Will, who lived upstairs from me and I began to record sounds. One day I might find something that will play those old tapes again. Meanwhile here's some of the stuff that came afterwards. Some of it, not very long afterwards. You have been warned.


This collection is, in all senses, a real hodge-podge. Recording quality varies greatly. Lots of material is recorded on consumer hi-fi cassette, including multiple bounces. Occasionally I get my hands on four track cassette, and the later tracks are recorded on reel-to-reel, but again only a consumer machine. Some tracks are proper arrangements, others are just looped sequences with improvised doodles on top - ideas that went nowhere, but which could still go somewhere given some proper care and attention. There are even some songs, of sorts, though none of the voices are mine ... and for those I have to thank Sue from Manchester, and Mike, my old friend from school days and now also from Manchester. (By the way, I've never been to Manchester.)


By the way, the Creative Commons license says no derivative works without permission, commercial or otherwise. I know this sounds strict, but you only have to ask me.
